.. Are you sure you should be adding a spur when you are asking such a
.. question?
.. The wire you refer to ( It is actually called cable ) is not "triple
.. earth" .It is " twin and earth" ,a live and neutral conductor and a
.. bare earth conductor which should be sleeved in earth sleeving at the
.. connections . The cable will be 2.5mm size so use this size cable for
.. the spur .
.. Have a read here
